If law enforcement officers are not trained to identify and appropriately respond to persons with ASD, it is possible that officers may exacerbate a situation, resulting in unnecessary trauma, injury, or fatality. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a method of law enforcement training on persons with ASD. A total of 82 law enforcement officers participated in this randomized, waitlist-controlled, between-groups study. The results revealed significant differences in change scores between groups, with the training group scoring considerably better than the control group at posttest. Subsequently, the control group completed training and likewise showed significant improvement. However, despite the significant gains in knowledge following training, posttests scores for participants in both groups did not indicate mastery of the training material. The implications of these findings are discussed.

A review of assessments for determining the content of early intensive behavioral intervention programs for autism spectrum disorders / Evelyn R. GOULD in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 5-3 (July-September 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 5-3 (July-September 2011) . - p.990-1002 Titre : A review of assessments for determining the content of early intensive behavioral intervention programs for autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Evelyn R. GOULD, Auteur ; Dennis R. DIXON, Auteur ; Adel NAJDOWSKI, Auteur ; Marlena N. SMITH, Auteur ; Jonathan TARBOX, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.990-1002 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Assessment  Curriculum  Early intensive behavioral intervention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A large proportion of national education and treatment centers for persons with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), including those providing applied behavior analysis (ABA)-based services, show a relatively high percentage of agreement among practitioners on the instruments they routinely use for a variety of purposes, including curriculum design and treatment evaluation. In this paper, several assessments are reviewed and evaluated in terms of their utility for designing comprehensive early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) curriculum programs for children with ASD. The assessments found to be most useful for this purpose are reported. A general critique regarding the available pool of assessment tools is provided and the need for a comprehensive assessment directly linked to curricula is discussed.
